Tackling Thanksgiving with Easy Food Swaps & Healthy Holiday Tips
Thanksgiving - truthfully I feel like it kind of snuck up on me. Can you smell the turkey yet at your house? lol. A super fun time of year spent with family, friends, and loved ones you haven’t seen in what feels like ages. Annnnd of course, amidst all the fun and good times can be some extra stress trying to get everything planned.
An Easy, Fun Breakfast for Everyone - a Holiday Breakfast Bar
It’s safe to say, everyone is looking forward to the holiday season earlier than ever before. With Christmas just around the corner, are you making new recipes, the same recipes? Endless grocery lists? LOL One of my favorite food traditions is to set up a DIY breakfast bar to enjoy one of the mornings we have off. As the kids get older, they absolutely love the whole concept of having a “buffet” style setup at home! And even if you are doing the holidays with a super tight knit group, or even alone, this is an awesome way to extend the holiday-days. :)

Easy Food Swaps For a Healthier Life
The past, gosh - 9 years - I’ve been finding ways to better our diet at home. It started with me, moved over to my husband, and now includes the kids! From shifting to a predominantly plant-based diet, to finding healthy takes on classic recipes, I love experimenting in the kitchen! One simple way I have made our food at home more kid and health friendly is by swapping a few key ingredients with healthier alternatives.
End of Summer Anti-Inflammation Smoothie
In the summer, I think I make a smoothie every single day. It’s the perfect way to pack in fruits and veggies for myself (and for the kids when they steal my smoothies!). It’s also super refreshing and cooling when its 90+ degrees. It’s ALSO the easiest way to get a meal in when I am holding multiple children :)
Along with making my typical green smoothie, I like to switch it up with something sweet and spicy and anti inflammatory during the warm-warm days!

Sneaky Sugar
There are plenty of seemingly healthy foods that PACK in the sugar. I chose 6 of what I see the most when I meet with clients. I literally cannot imagine eating 4 or even 2 teaspoons of straight sugar, can you?
